“ Since that first flight, aviation and aerospace technology has advanced at a remarkable pace, allowing us to fly across oceans, break the sound barrier, orbit the Earth, land on the moon, and study our universe in a way our ancestors could not have imagined. Each new generation of engineers and other inventors, following in the Wright Brothers' footsteps, continues to move the technology of flight further.
Today, air transportation touches the lives of people throughout the United States, and helps unite the American people. ”

“ Air transportation brings families and friends together, delivers aid to those in need, and facilitates industry and commerce.
As we look to the future, we remember the extraordinary accomplishments of the Wright Brothers. ”
